The statement that offers the most accurate comparison of Indigenous and European American religious perspectives is: "Both European Americans and Indigenous peoples believed in a Creator of the universe."

This statement acknowledges a point of similarity between the two groups, as many Indigenous cultures have their own concepts of a Creator or central spiritual being, while European American perspectives historically often included belief in a singular God or Creator. The other statements either misrepresent Indigenous beliefs or simplify the diversity of religious perspectives within each group.
